Both groups showed no significant difference with respect to age of the subjects (t = -0.755, p = .452). Average alcohol intake per month for the last six months were significantly different between the two groups (t = -6.88, p < .000), but alcohol intake did not show significant correlations with ERP measures. With respect to the performance measures, no significant differences across semantic conditions were noted for the following - correct response, wrong response, missed response and reaction time for conditions. However, both groups of subjects showed differences in performance between primed and unprimed words: in the number of wrong responses, missed responses and reaction time (RT), where subjects in both groups had significantly more wrong and missed responses as well as slower RT to unprimed words compared to primed words (Table 1). Finally, reaction time difference between the unprimed and primed condition was computed for each individual and the RT difference value was found to be significantly larger for control subjects in comparison to the alcoholics (t = 2.47, p = 0.015).
